......@@ -408,11 +408,19 @@ For product releases a setup similar to
Debian is to be used to stage updates before a new point release is done. The
repositories used by Apertis are outlined in the following sections.
Point releases are published every quarter and when this happens the staged
updates get folded in the main repository. The last point release is a special
case since after three months the staged updates will get folded but no
additional point release is published. The overall support period of a product
release is thus two years from the `.0` release.
Every quarter a release cycle for every supported release is started with the
goal of publishing a new point release. Before the actual point release is published
a set of intermediate steps are performed to ensure a reliable process:
- Soft Feature Freeze: From this point no new features are allowed to the release
- Hard Feature Freeze / Soft Code Freeze: From this point only bug fixing is allowed,
staged updates are folded into the main repository
- Release Candidate / Hard Code Freeze: From this point no changes are allowed, RC
is published for testing
- Release: Point release is published
The last point release is a special case since after three months the staged updates
will get folded but no additional point release is published. The overall support
period of a product release is thus two years from the `.0` release.
